My father - who recently passed at 98 - served in the USAAF (13th AF) in the Philippines and New Guinea as a controller helping damaged and lost aircraft find an airfield.

I believe he was slated to be Forward Air Controller for the invasion of Japan... so thanks for the nukes Harry.

Retired from the Retired Reserves as a SMSgt in the mid-1980s.

Had uncles in the Navy and Army but no details. All have passed on.
